You may not be able to buy Sarah Jessica Parker’s lifestyle from Sex and the City, but now you can buy some of her fabulous clothes.

Parker recently opened her first standalone boutique, SJP by Sarah Jessica Parker. It's located at MGM National Harbor resort in Maryland, just south of Washington D.C. The store features her chic collection of handbags, shoes (naturally), accessories and the SJP LBD little black dress line.

“Opening a standalone store has long been a dream we have been working towards,” Parker said in a statement. “It’s been very exciting to have been involved in all steps of the process, from on-site construction visits to the actual layout and design of our boutique.”

Accessories and handbags range from an affordable $30 USD to a solid $695, while shoes start at $240. The LBD little black dresses premiere at $395. The shop is slated to open Dec. 9.
